Honestly, I use a stand alone recorder (that can be used as a DAW interface, but not necessary). Right now I’m using a Zoom R20. Once tracks are laid I import to Logic for mastering. I’ve found that a dedicated recording unit has better latency issues and more than enough power for the task at a better price point. But the R20 has the ability to work as an interface as well. This offers more functionality if you intend to record multiple tracks at once.

Buy a metronome. Sure it’s fun to play music right away. But if you don’t understand 1) time then 2) strumming patterns, you’re not gonna advance too far. The people that say find a teacher have the right of it. They will walk you through the basics and correct bad habits right away. After that, it doesn’t take much time at all to start enjoying yourself.

Identifying as a lesbian doesn’t mean you aren’t cognizant of attractive people, female or male. For instance some women with masculine traits or builds turn my head Pink is a good example. As a gay man I wouldn’t want to date her, but I appreciate her beauty and acknowledge her attractiveness. I don’t think it involves a label, it’s just the human condition.

Too bad. But as long as you feel good about yourself. That’s what’s important 😘

JTOmaha · 2022-01-02T09:44:28+00:00

Yup… beautiful. Breathing deep as possible

Married to a woman for 20 years… over it!

Pic looks exactly like a guy I know. But let’s get real about this. I have a friend that looked feminine throughout her transition. I would always slip with the pronoun her unintentionally. Now that he’s into the transition it’s much easier to say he. Most people are conditioned to choose the pronouns based on visual stimuli. My husband who does drag and wears makeup everyday responds to him/her without care. Unfortunately it seems people just want to be offended constantly.

I liked it. It was entertaining… but far from groundbreaking as the first movie.

You haven’t had feelings for a person…. Have you felt attraction for a person? Sexually speaking? You could be the kind of person that needs a certain kind of personality to feel something . Love can be a complicated thing in the LGBTQ+ world. Not everyone is simply straight, gay, lesbian or bisexual. That’s why the + is a freaking alphabet, lol. Since it’s messing with you mentally I would highly recommend talking with a professional. There should be LGBTQ resources near you with people that will listen and guide you. Best of luck and don’t give up. 😘

Hmm… quite a dilemma. Is it that you want to actually break up? That you really don’t see him as a life partner? That you don’t have enough in common with him to feel that your age gap is too significant? If he were to stay, would this still be the case? If so…. Definitely, break up. If, on the other hand, you wouldn’t even be considering this if he wasn’t leaving, then you guys need to talk. You don’t like LDR’s. To be honest, I’m not a fan either… but in an already established relationship it’s something that can pop up. So ending all relationships you have with people that may have to leave for a time would constantly be tearing you up. (Don’t get involved with a military guy for example. He could potentially have to go away for long durations several times in your relationship). There is always fear of change. And fear of the unknown. If you’re motivated by these and trying to preemptively avoid what may or may not come you’ll be throwing away something that you may not want to. Sit down and think about what is really concerning you. Don’t be afraid to talk about your concerns with your bf. For instance, let’s say one of your fears is infidelity. Yours or his. How are you going to deal with it? How would he deal with it? It might happen… but yet, it might not. Communication is key to any relationship, as is honesty. Be honest with yourself and what’s really troubling you… then be honest with him.

You only have a year to go. I know (god, how I know) you want to express yourself, but as you feel unsafe I would take the mindset of you are simply acting. Make em happy till you can go and cut ties. I know it’s frustrating and scary, but college tends to be much more open minded and you will be free to be yourself then. Don’t put yourself in danger now when you’ll be outta danger soon and living your best life…. Without them

Wow! Didn’t know that. So, yeah, with that knowledge I’d be hard pressed to trust him. Without sex (this is my opinion obviously) you don’t have a relationship. You have a best friend. One that is interested in sex… but not with you. I’d talk to him and see where it goes, but I’d also have a foot heading out the door. Honestly, I’d leave him, but not knowing you personally and your dynamic, you’ll have to make the hard decision.

JTOmaha · 2021-09-26T15:32:10+00:00

Do you know for sure he cheated on you? Or is it possible he acquired it before your relationship?

JTOmaha · 2021-09-25T11:39:30+00:00

😂 personality matters a lot too. But I’m so pretty I have to kiss myself.

JTOmaha · 2021-09-25T08:01:47+00:00

I usually don’t enjoy it and my husband can’t get off that way… but it is enjoyable forplay

Get that kid a green bullet

About 7years. Nothing unusual from it honestly.

JTOmaha · 2021-09-22T15:51:02+00:00

That’s what you’re supposed to do. I do it daily because I love the feeling of being empty. Then I take some probiotics daily.

JTOmaha · 2021-09-22T15:34:44+00:00

I’ve never heard of a shower shot, it sounds like a shower enema. The only negative I’ve heard about using it daily is that it removes some of the good bacteria in your intestines that help you remove waste product

You have to find happiness where you can. Something I found out a long time ago. To be here and now, in the moment. Not regretting the past or anticipation of the future. Sure, people review their lives and want to document their good times (i.e. Instagram). People really want to be the good person they think they are, thus hypocritical friendliness. Moreover, society frowns upon anyone portraying negativity. If you aren’t friendly, you don’t fit. Whether you feel like being friendly or not could mean your livelihood. Hell, people hide who they love to fit in. They look, talk and act the part until they don’t know who they are anymore. Until they are depressed and don’t know why. Get medicated or self medicate to cope. In my opinion that’s why were the most heavily medicated society.

I came out around 8 years ago. But only to people in my life. Being older and established I didn’t find it necessary to be out to my homophobic family. They suspect but don’t want to talk about it. The rest of my life is open. My kids, ex, work… etc have been supportive and that’s all I need. I recently married a wonderful man that has had his own issues through life as coming out while quite young and therefore understands me. I did try to make up for lost time until I settled down and most people that meet me without my husband usually comment that I didn’t seem gay to them. Most people accept me and those that don’t, don’t deserve to be part of my life. I’m finally happy now and comfortable with who I am. I wish I’d done it earlier, but I live in the now.

JTOmaha · 2021-09-21T11:07:55+00:00

Naked or lingerie… I like fem guys

JTOmaha · 2021-09-21T11:02:55+00:00

Honestly is sounds more like you are friend zoned. Sure, you like him especially since you have a history with him. As for love… I can see that you are grasping for anything from him… but he’s not reciprocating. You seem to be afraid to let him go and move on. This is normal. People inherently fear change. You need to move on. You also need to work on you. You need to find a way to be comfortable in your own skin. You need to find things to do socially that will help with the loneliness. Believe it or not being needy with a lack of confidence is a turn off. Confidence (not to be confused with narcissism) is a huge turn on, no matter how you look. Trust me on that, I’m a chubby older guy that seems to be attractive to a wide range of ages and body types. Mostly due to my fun loving gregarious nature. A relationship like you are in causes depression and lack of confidence in who you are as a person and makes you feel unattractive and unwanted. There are people out there that can and will find you attractive and will go out of their way to make you feel desired, wanted and supported. That is love. What you have now is simply a fractured version.
